Using OptimalAvailability Studio™
One connected reliability model, worked through a set of linked views, that ends in a maintenance and spares strategy the rest of the estate can act on.
The views
| RCM analysis | Functions, functional failures, modes, effects, consequences and tasks, to the JA1011 logic. |
|---|---|
| FMECA library | Reusable failure-mode libraries keyed to the asset taxonomy, inherited across like assets. |
| RBD builder | Draw the system as series, parallel and k-out-of-n blocks and compute system reliability. |
| Weibull and life-data | Fit failure history, read β and η, B-life and MTTF, with censored data handled. |
| RAM simulation | Monte Carlo the system for availability, production availability and expected failures. |
| Strategy and tasks | Package the selected tasks and intervals into a maintenance plan for the CMMS. |
| Spares criticality | Rank spares from criticality and RAM spares demand, ready for OptimalSPARES™. |
One reliability model, many outputs
The differentiator is that these are not seven tools but seven views of one model. The functions feed the FMECA, the FMECA feeds the RCM and the RBD, the life-data feeds the RAM, and the RAM feeds the spares. Change a failure rate or a task and every downstream output updates, with the history kept, so the strategy is consistent and auditable rather than a set of spreadsheets that quietly disagree.
Connected to the platform
OptimalAvailability Studio™ is the reliability engine of the Optimal® ARaaS® platform. It hands on-condition tasks and their P-F intervals to OptimalTREND™, criticality and spares demand to OptimalSPARES™, damage mechanisms and consequences to OptimalIntegrity Studio™, and availability and reliability indicators to the ARaaS® Dashboard. What it decides, the estate executes.
A desk tool, by design
Unlike OptimalTREND™, this is an engineering workspace, used in studies and design reviews at a desk, so it is browser-based with no separate mobile app. The outputs, tasks, alerts and dashboards, are what reach the field through the other apps and the CMMS.
Roles and access
Reliability engineers build and own the models; maintenance planners consume the task packages; asset managers read the availability and risk; reviewers and auditors see the full change history behind every decision. Access is by role, and every change is attributed.
